Further details
Helen and Patrick hear from Charlie, who is travelling in Europe. Helen is convinced she's met a Dutch boy because she claims Rotterdam is beautiful! Billy fails to see why Patrick is worried about his daughter having a boyfriend and he doesn't reassure him when he tells him to think back to his teenage years.
Moira meets an old friend, Siobhan, for lunch. Billy and Patrick think back to their old school dances and Billy remembers having a massive crush on Siobhan, who is getting married and moving to Russia with Valerie. Billy, Patrick and Joe end up taking Valerie on a stag night whilst Moira talks Maria and Helen into taking Siobhan out. Billy is still mesmerised by Siobhan and doesn't see that she's brash and loud.
The girls watch Siobhan flirting madly with anyone in sight and talk about meeting their husbands for the first time. Patrick panics when he is introduced to Siobhan as he remembers a teenage drunken snog and Helen can't understand his odd behaviour. The episode concludes with a phone call from Charlie and the couples spending some quality time together.
